Great to hear that all your persistence is paying off. Hope you find more of the stuff that is still missing.

Thanks for the update. Lately, everytime I read one of your posts. I found myself wondering if you had gotten your trailer back.

Good news. Passed out under the golden archs-thats funny.

It was on the news tonight two enclosed trailers stolen last night from small bakery. Had the lock system that ball goes in with locking u bolt over top. Said they didn't bust the lock just chained them up someway and drove away.

Any covers/locks over the ball hitch only prevent the use of a standard ball. Those willing to steal often are also willing to attempt unsafe means of hitching. That's why chock-locking the wheels is a better idea.

Any method that is used is never a 100% deterrent, however if you can make it plainly apparent the trailer isn't going anywhere easy thieves (if time constrained) will leave the trailer alone. I would say that having a motion-sensor triggered surveillance with notification alarms to your computer and phone will help.

Update. The last thief was caught today. Hopefully when the investigators talk to him I'll know where my remaining stuff is located.

If he does he will implicate himself in their theft.
I hope things continue to go your way!
